About k0rdent
k0rdent is an open-source, Kubernetes-native Distributed Container Management Environment developed by Mirantis to help teams build and operate developer platforms at scale. It uses Kubernetes as a universal control plane across multi-cloud, edge, and on-prem environments. k0rdent simplifies complex infrastructure by automating cluster lifecycle management, policy enforcement, and configuration consistency. The platform enables platform engineering teams to design repeatable, workload-specific developer platforms using declarative templates and composable components. It reduces operational toil by supporting self-service environments and GitOps-driven workflows. With centralized visibility, teams can optimize performance, costs, and compliance from a single control point. k0rdent is built to support modern workloads, including AI and ML, without vendor lock-in.
